Nacho Cheesecake (YES, you read that correctly....NACHO CHEESECAKE) at Cake Envy

A couple of weeks ago Amy messaged me that she wanted to have a little party in my honor and that she had a surprise for me.  She had me pick a date and she invited all the Nacho Friends to her store for the shindig.  I deducted that the surprise must be something to do with nachos since she posted the invite to the Nacho Friends group but I had absolutely no idea what it was.  We all arrived with our bottles of bubbly and there on the counter was something covered with a cloth.  Hmmmm....what is under that little cloth?  Once the guests grew hungry and started nibbling on the snacks, Amy decided it was time for the reveal. She gave a short speech expressing her love and appreciation of everything I do. She finally asked us if we ready for the surprise, but first a joke.  "What do you call a cheesecake that doesn't belong to you?  NACHO CHEESECAKE!"  Ha!  Damn it, why was I not recording that?  Oh yeah because I was hiding behind the nearest human trying to hide my blushing cheeks caused by her speech about me. Amy truly outdid herself this time.  Not only does she already make the best cheesecakes in all the land, but now she has used that brilliant mind of hers to make a savory cheesecake that tastes like f***ing nachos.  What was in this magical creation you ask?  The crust was made with tortillas, crumbly and just the perfect accent of flavor.  In the base there was a mix of chicken, taco seasoning, and cheese.  Atop was sprinkled black beans, corn, tomatoes, black olives, sour cream, and green onions.  She also had chips out and additional toppings to accompany your slice of nacho cheesecake heaven.  It was so beautiful, no one wanted to cut into it. The feeling didn't last.  Soon there were little slices of nacho bliss on everyone's plate.  At first, it was a bit strange to have the savory flavors with the texture of cheesecake usually associated with berries and chocolate.  That feeling also didn't last.  As each bite progressed you just wanted more.  I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next!

Tango Tango (6, Earth-shattering, life-affirmingly sexy hybrid dish. I will never be the same) – PRESENTATION: Whaaaat is happening?  Nacho cheesecake?!  The first slice confirmed it was not a creature of myth.  A real life culinary unicorn is before me.  I kneel before this culinary supernova and pray, as a mortal, that I have the constitution and fortitude to court my destiny. RAD: Amy of Cake Envy is an innovator, like a Da Vinci of the kitchen.  Opening with compliments and a joke, she introduced her creation.  The first bite confirmed we are witnessing history.  LAME: Lame this isn't something society is ready for.  I will be tormented, waiting until we meet again.  MAKE. THIS. A. MENU. ITEM. TOPPING TO CHIP RATIO: 6/5: Appropriately served alongside a separate variety of chips and toppings allows you, the lucky muggle consumer, to fully comprehend the revolution before you. Add some mango sorbetto to your champagne for an enhanced perspective (recommended)!
